Speeding up Firefox 3 in KDE 4 (Kubuntu Intrepid)

Having just moved across to Kubuntu Intrepid I found that Firefox looks a little crappy by default. This can be remedied pretty quickly by grabbing this theme, created especially for KDE 4:

Secondly some people suggested that they found Gmail scrolling a little slow on some computers. Disabling the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications addon (anyone know what this does anyway?) seems to give you a little extra speed if you need it.

Finally ensure you that you have ‘performance’ selected in CPU Policy. It’s easy to forget that power saving mode is on and find yourself wondering why your laptop is slow!
